Abstract

PURPOSE:To retard the corrosion of a substrate by controlling the temperature of nickel nitrate solution to about 60-100 deg.C and its pH to about 1-2. CONSTITUTION:A porous nickel substrate is immersed in nickel nitrate aqueous solution, then immersed in alkaline solution to convert nickel nitrate into nickel hydroxide. Highly concentrated nickel nitrate solution having a specific gravity of about 1.7-1.8 is suitable. The impregnation is performed at about 60-100 deg.C and in the solution having a pH of about 1-2. The pH of the solution is adjusted by adding nitric acid to the nickel nitrate solution. Even if the substrate is immersed in high temperature, high concentration nickel nitrate aqueous solution, the corrosion of the substrate can be retarded.

(b) Conventional technology and problems Conventionally, nickel hydroxide electrodes are produced by immersing a porous nickel substrate, such as a sintered porous nickel substrate, in an impregnating solution of an aqueous nickel nitrate solution, and then hydrating the nickel nitrate in an aqueous alkaline solution. It is manufactured by repeating the process of converting it into active material and producing the required amount of active material. In order to increase the active material 'α optical filler of one cycle saD in the above process and reduce the impregnation, a very highly concentrated aqueous solution of nickel nitrate hexahydrate is used as the impregnating liquid, and its viscosity is reduced. In order to do this, a method of immersion at a high temperature of 60° C. or higher is widely used. However, this method results in a high concentration of free nitric acid in the aqueous nickel nitrate solution and a high lF concentration.
A, the nickel substrate was corroded and the strength of the electrode plate and electrode performance were reduced. Therefore, in order to suppress this corrosion, a method of forming a nickel oxide film on the surface of a nickel substrate is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-78457.
(Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 59-96659, etc.), but their effects are not sufficient.

If the temperature of the impregnating liquid is not about 60°C or higher, the viscosity will be high, and if it exceeds 100°C, the amount of evaporation of the impregnating liquid will be large, and the pH will be adjusted to [01]. In addition, outside the pH range of about 1 to 2,
This is not preferable because the elution of nickel from the electrode plate and nickel hydroxide from the active material into the impregnating solution of the nickel nitrate aqueous solution rises rapidly.
